Book excerpt: Ce petit livre d'Ernest Babelon, publi� pour la premi�re fois en 1921 est le fruit d'une �rudition sans failles mise � la port�e du grand public. En 160 pages foisonnantes l'auteur �crit un aper�u historique complet des monnaies grecques antiques.Entre leur invention au VII�me si�cle avant J.-C. et la fin des monnaies grecques au III�me si�cle apr�s J.-C., 1000 ans d'histoire se sont �coul�s. Au fil des pages, le lecteur d�couvre de fa�on originale la civilisation grecque et ses grandes �volutions sous un angle �conomique, politique et artistique.5 chapitres courts mais tr�s riches pr�sentent l'invention de la monnaie par les Grecs dans l'Antiquit� et l'�volution des monnaies au cours des diff�rentes p�riodes de l'histoire grecque : * Chapitre I : Gen�se de la Monnaie* Chapitre II : La p�riode archa�que. Des origines aux Guerres M�diques* Chapitre III : La grande �poque de l'art mon�taire - V�me et IV�me si�cles avant J.-C.* Chapitre IV : l'�poque hell�nistique* Chapitre V : les monnaies grecques sous l'Empire romainAu fil des pages le lecteur d�couvrira les plus anciens syst�mes mon�taires et les diff�rentes pi�ces grecques antiques comme l'obole, la drachme ou encore le stat�re qui sont encore bien connnues aujourd'hui.Le lecteur d�couvrira �galement quelques pi�ces exceptionnelles qui ont marqu� l'histoire de l'art comme le d�cadrachme de Marathon ou encore l'exceptionnel d�cadrachme de Syracuse.Au d�tour des pages on croise quelques personnages historiques c�l�bres qui ont marqu� l'histoire grecque comme Cr�sus, Darius, Philippe de Mac�doine ou encore bien s�r Alexandre le Grand. Naturellement les Grecs ont repr�sent� sur les monnaies les dieux, demi dieux, h�ros et les multiples divinit�s de leur foisonnante mythologie. Chaque cit� avait son propre symbole : Ath�na et la chouette pour Ath�nes, mais aussi le Minotaure et le Labyrinthe en Cr�te, la tortue � 2gine, l'�pi de bl� � M�taponte ou encore le taureau de Sybaris. On d�couvre aussi sur les pi�ces Apollon, la Victoire, Pos��don, Zeus et quasiment tout le Panth�on de la mythologie grecque, ainsi qu'une multitude d'animaux vari�es, de fruits, de temples et m�me d'insectes.Les artistes grecs ont tr�s rapidement pouss� � la perfection l'art de la fabrication des pi�ces de monnaie. Certaines de ces pi�ces sont des chefs-d'oeuvre immortels, comme par exemple les merveilleux t�tradrachmes de Syracuse sign�s par leurs auteurs, Cimon, Eucleidas ou encore Eum�ne et Euthymos.21 illustrations en noir et blanc ponctuent le livre. Parmi ces illustrations on peut d�couvrir les images quelques-unes des pi�ces les plus remarquables de la numismatique grecque. L'ouvrage, qui constitue une excellente initiation � la numismatique grecque, int�ressera sans doute les collectionneurs mais aussi les �tudiants en histoire et en histoire de l'Art, ainsi bien s�r que les amateurs de mythologie grecque et de fa�on g�n�rale les curieux soucieux de mieux comprendre les origines de la civilisation occidentale.

Download or read book Individuals and Materials in the Greco Roman Cults of Isis SET written by Valentino Gasparini and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 1191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Individuals and Materials in the Greco-Roman Cults of Isis Valentino Gasparini and Richard Veymiers present a collection of reflections on the individuals and groups which animated one of Antiquity’s most dynamic, significant and popular religious phenomena: the reception of the cults of Isis and other Egyptian gods throughout the Hellenistic and Roman worlds. These communities, whose members seem to share the same religious identity, for a long time have been studied in a monolithic way through the prism of the Cumontian category of the “Oriental religions”. The 26 contributions of this book, divided into three sections devoted to the “agents”, their “images” and their “practices”, shed new light on this religious movement that appears much more heterogeneous and colorful than previously recognized.
Download or read book The World of Achaemenid Persia written by John Curtis and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest and fascination in Achaemenid Persia has burgeoned in recent years. It is time for a major new appraisal of the glorious civilization founded by Cyrus the Great and continued by his successors, the Great Kings Darius I, Xerxes and Artaxerxes I. This volume offers precisely that: a sustained and comprehensive overview of the field of Achaemenid studies by leading scholars and experts. It discusses all aspects of Achaemenid history and archaeology between 550 BCE and 330 BCE, and embraces the whole vast territory of the Persian Empire from North Africa to India and from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf. Topics covered in this title include aspects of Achaemenid religion, administration, material culture, ethnicity, gender and the survival of Achaemenid traditions. The publication of the book is an event: it represents a watershed not only in better appreciation and understanding of the rich and complex cultural heritage established by Cyrus, but also of the lasting significance of the Achaemenid kings and the impact that their remarkable civilization has had on wider Persian and Middle Eastern history. First published by I.B.Tauris in association with the Iran Heritage Foundation

Download or read book Rhodes in the Hellenistic Age written by Richard M. Berthold and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a detailed political history of Rhodes from the foundation of the Rhodian republic in the fifth century B.C. to the conclusions of Rhodes' alliance with Rome in the second, a period in which Rhodes was a major Mediterranean power. Richard M. Berthold provides a complete account of Rhodian foreign affairs, exploring the principles and reasons behind Rhodes' foreign policy decisions. He traces Rhodes' history through the stormy years of the fourth century to the independence and prosperity of the third, arguing that Rhodes achieved economic and political success by pursuing a course of studied neutrality. Berthold maintains that Rhodes did not willfully abandon its neutral stance during the second century, but rather was forced by events to support Rome, a posture that ultimately led to Rhodes' loss of independence.
